(C) ninety dollars ($90) for each day the juror is in actual attendance from the sixth day of trial until the jury is discharged.

(b) A county fiscal body may adopt an ordinance to pay from county funds a supplemental fee in addition to the fees prescribed by subsection (a)(2).

(c) A juror of a city or town court is entitled to the sum of the following:

(1) Except as provided in subsection (f), an amount for mileage at the mileage rate paid to state officers and employees for each mile necessarily traveled to and from the court.

(2) Fifteen dollars ($15) per day while the juror is in actual attendance.

(d) A city or town fiscal body may adopt an ordinance to pay from city or town funds a supplemental fee in addition to the fee prescribed by subsection (c)(2).

(e) For purposes of this section, a prospective juror who is summoned for jury duty and who reports to the summoning court on the day specified in the summons is in actual attendance on that day, regardless of whether the prospective juror is not seated or is removed under IC 35-37-1.

(f) A county, city, or town fiscal body may adopt an ordinance providing for the payment by the county, city, or town of the parking fees incurred by jurors of circuit, superior, county, and probate courts and members of grand juries. If a county, city, or town fiscal body adopts an ordinance under this subsection, the county, city, or town may pay the parking fees incurred by a juror of a circuit, superior, county, or probate court or a member of a grand jury instead of paying the juror or grand jury member an amount for mileage at the rate provided in subsection (a)(1) or (c)(1).
